Parents of students at McClellan Elementary School held a rally with teachers Monday morning to voice health concerns about lead paint chips found inside the school.
"It is quite disturbing and makes us question how much CPS actually cares," said Lupe Tapia, a parent of a child at McClellan at 35th and Wallace streets in the Bridgeport neighborhood.
Cindy Goga, a McClellan parent said the school's parents complained"for a long time about the falling, chipping paint in the classrooms, in the hallways, and we’ve continuously been ignored." "In October, when the paint started chipping, we did reach out to CPS," said Kelly Harmon, a teacher at McClellan."CPS had told our administration that there was nothing to worry about, that it was safe to stay in the rooms and that everything was OK. Then they told us things were going to be fixed by Thanksgiving break.
